The project prepared by Foundation "EUROPEAN YOUTH MEET THE CULTURAL HERITAGE " is an exchange of youth, which will be attended by young people from Poland, Estonia, Romania, Italy, Hungary and Portugal - 42 people in total. Project will be held in Krakow:16-24.09.2014.The main objective of the exchange is to deep cooperation and understanding between young people from different countries, by knowing the culture of the people from the countries participating in the exchange, their national languages, traditions, history, customs, national and realities of everyday life in the countries where they come from. For 8 days the participants will have an opportunity to meet their peers from other countries. This will enable them to know the history, culture and language of the countries of their peers, to refute the stereotypes and prejudices, and promote tolerance towards others. During the exchange the youth will participate in a variety of activities which will help them in free exchange of opinions. Issues of cultural heritage in each country and across the Europe will be a tool which we will use to achieve the primary objective. During the exchange there will be organised the workshops, lectures, presentations, games, sport activities, panel discussions, film screening, tours and meetings with the local community. During the stay in Krakow young people will try together - using the achievements of art and literature - to promote tolerance and fight stereotypes . At the same time there will be organised the workshops in the purpose of breaking down social and cultural barriers. The project will result in the promotion of culture, art and literary constituting a joint cultural heritage. Presentation of the European cultural heritage will ilustrate how many links the different countries, i.e. feeling the need of beauty, love and needs of acceptation
